as a result of my hummus addiction, i've been trying to make my own. i've yet to come up with a chickpea version that tastes as good as sabra, but this spicy black bean hummus is in it's own league. it's delicious with pita chips or multigrain tostitos. and you can control the spice with how much jalapeno you use. i used a whole one the first time and WHOA! that stuff was hot. nate ate it like candy of course, but it was a bit too hot for me. about half seems to be perfect :) enjoy! and if you have a great hummus recipe, please share! i'm still tweaking the chickpea one. i'll post it once i'm satisfied :)
Spicy Black Bean Hummus
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tahini (roasted sesame seed paste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- Dash of crushed red pepper
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Dash of ground red pepper
(not pictured as hummus isn't all that photogenic) :)

Linda came across a pretty good recipe. I think the key - as with most recipes - is this:
There's no such thing as too much garlic.

ooh how did i miss that?? and also doug's hilarious comment on her post? :) i'm definitely trying that recipe next!
i am a big hummus fan! harris teeter has some great varieties of hummus (lots of varieties)...i've made hummus at home too...i suggest if you like mustard seeds...sauteed a teaspoon over hot olive oil...add some salt and maybe red pepper powder and your curry powder...add this to your ground chick peas...add lime, garlic, etc. (you could put garlic in hot oil too)...there is no set recipe...make it as you like it i guess.
